[newbie] no CD audio
Hi, I have sound problems on both my PCs that are running Linux. I'll just mention one of them for now. I have 9.2 installed. I don't hear any audio when a CD plays. I can hear mp3s when they play but there is no sound from my CD. I checked Alsamixer and Kmix and everything appears to be fine, nothing appears to be muted. Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can give! Eric Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Before I > install 10 on my main machine I'd like to hear the pros & cons of Update > vs New install. > > Rich This is subjective to system and version and person carrying it out. I have never done an update myself. A new install means that there are few residue files left over from the old system and if you have a /home partition just about everything you want will be there, including any kernel builds that you have done, so that everything can be accessed immediately and the system runs straight after install on reboot. In the past I have never had a separate /usr partition, though I have done so one one system with 9.2 this time to try it out. In the clean install, if you have saved configuration files that you might need from the old system, from my experience it works straight up. There is sometimes a little minor tweaking, required, but it is minimal. I usually do a new package selection of the very minimum I require, manually, and install anything else needed later. That was with 9.2, about 800MB. Then save the package selection to floppy, and make notes on the label as to what else should go in when I discover what is needed. Then the next system that you install just add the packages jotted on the label and save the Package selection file again. The third system that you install should have everything that is required on it, unless there is need for something extra by someone else. Adjust the corrections of the label as required. I know that in windows an upgrade can make the new system run slower. A clean install is always better in my previous experience with that O/S. But in Linux I have never heard of such a thing, and because I don't upgrade have never experienced it either. Just my personal prejudices. Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] Update Vs Install
I originally updated by downloading the RC1 isos, mounting them, then pointing urpmi to them. I had to force some kde (my wife needs KDE) stuff, but other than that it went off without a hitch running urpmi in a a terminal, while I was doing some other stuff in fluxbox. Watching urpmi do it's stuff was pretty cool. It was shut down stuff it was updating then restarted them when it was done. The folks responsible for urpmi have done a great job. Since then I've been updating via cooker. Just to see what happens, I'm rsync-ing the community isos, while I type this, and when they're done I'll do the same thing.

If you burned the CD too fast, that might have created files that are recognisable, but unreadable. Right click on one of the photo files, are they saved as .jpg or another format? The dialogue box that opens up should offer you an option to Select a viewer and then see if they open. My preference would be Kuickshow and see if the file opens, or record the error message that comes up. So try the following:- in the panel the little house which is home/mnt/cdrom, right click on the file, choose Kuickshow and either view the photo or record the error message. While you are there looking at the photos, click on the detailed list in the menu bar, and see what size the photo is, because if it is very large, it may take your system, depending on memory a while to render it for viewing. Making you think that it is not being loaded. Charlie. -- A steady wind scours the autumn moon From a stagnant pool, From the crystal spring every place pure now Just as it is.

Well, with the addition of your response here, it's 2 no's, 1 yes and kind of 1 "maybe/sort of" :-) My gut tells me "no," as well, so I'm going to wait at least until I do a clean install of MDK 10 final. I've really nothing to lose over on the WinXP side, since I've not used it at all since getting this laptop, except to install a few pieces of software on it I thought I might need. Heck, I've not even set up mail on that side. :-) Thanks, Anne ... I'll not chance it in this instance. -- Chuck Mattsen ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...

a bit torrent file enables you to download the ISO image through the bit
torrent peer2peer protocol.
you need to have the package bittorrent-gui installed then you can start
the download using the command
btdownloadgui.py torrent_file.torrent

Before a data CD can be burned, an image of the files needs to be created. Just one of the things most all GUI users are not acquainted with, as that step is hidden from them ... and where you fsck'd up ;) You just reinforced that very point I made in a previous post ;> I put all the files in a home dir, burn/, making sure I don't exceed 700mb's. I can also sort them at this time. Then from my home dir I run 'mkcdimg burn/', then 'bacd cd_image' (bash auto completion cuts actual typing way down) The 'mkcdimg' step will also report if corrupt files are present, not suitable for inclusion in the image. That's the main reason I don't combine the two steps into one as a GUI does. Another point I've previously made ;> Never a coaster, and I can do all that before most GUI users can get the GUI started and setup, much less actually burn the CDr. Plus I know, usin the CL, exactly what's being done (and what's not ;) .. alias mkcdimg='mkisofs -r -o cd_image' alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=32 dev=ATA:3,1,0 -data' .. 'bdcd' is kernel 2.6.x specific as to dev= for IDE drives. I suspect this is gonna be a confusion for many GUI's and GUI users when 2.6 kernels are prevalent.

[newbie] GAIM
Hi all, I am using Mandrake 9.2 and I have been trying to get GAIM to connect to Yahoo. It will connect to everything else, but it errors out on Yahoo and says that it is "Unable to Read". I have the latest version of GAIM available through Mandrake Update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, M. Harrison Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The main problem I have with GUI's is most users don't know what the GUI's doin, or even what backends it uses. If people would learn to burn on the CL first, the GUI's would probly make more sense to them. Specially when problems are encountered. I don't agree "then it's really a hardware issue, and maybe an issue with cdrecord" for the reason above, and because most all problems are User > hardware > software/OS in that order. 'Course if a lot of people got thoroughly familiar with the simplicity and ease of burnin on the CL they'd never go back to usin a GUI as a crutch anyhow ;-) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Cooker mirrors. use the cooker, not stable directory
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerdevel.php3
/RPMS/ is main, /RPMS2/ is contribs. If you previously had
cooker sources installed, you may need to delete and re-install
them. I did, after the mirrors rearranged to allow for the stable
fork.
I've never used easyurpmi, instead adding sources by pasting
the ftp url (obtained from going to the site with a browser)
ending in RPMS/ EG,
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/
onto the CL in the form,
urpmi.addmedia (nickname) (ftp url...RPMS/)
with ../base/synthesis.hdlist.cz
Mirrors have been in a terrible state for quite some time,
and still are. So you'll need several sources, and use Software
Media Manager to en/disable them. Sort'a like playin musical
chairs ;) Here's a rule of thumb guide to mirror status
http://manu.agat.net/mandrake/mirrors_state.html
"up to date" means the mirror is in sync with the hdlists on it
at the time given in the right column. It can still be there's
files missing to completely update to current. "connect error" is
sometimes false, you can connect to the mirror (and vice versa).
The link is mainly good for checking to see the date and time of
the (synthesis) hdlist. The time is at the mirror, so allow for
difference to your time zone.
If your urpmi.cfg doesn't have this at the top of the file
{
downloader: wget
}
... either add it (make sure you have the wget rpm installed),
or use the --wget switch for urpmi. EG, I use
alias cook='urpmi.update -a -f --wget && urpmi --no-verify-rpm
--wget --auto-select -v'
If you stick with updating til 10-Official is released,
you'll have a lot of 10-Community bug fixes along the way, and
you'll end up with the final Official release. There's been
important fixes to kde, drake* tools, some system packages and
other apps since 10-Community was released. You can check on the
exact updates by checkin the Cooker and CHRPM (Changelog)

OK, Mandrake 9.2.
I tried it like this and it compiled without errors.
int main() {
__asm__(
"mov $0x0, %ebx\n"
"mov $0x1, %eax\n"
"int $0x80\n"
);
return 0;
}
